“ i’m so sorry! i wasn’t supposed to be at work today, but they called when you were asleep -- you know how it is. i didn’t wanna wake you, so i just figured i’d try to be back as fast as i could. did i miss anything? did you see your friends? did chris show you the bike?  --- oh god! did i ruin it? you knew, right? please tell me you knew ‘cause if i ruined it i’m never gonna forgive myself! ”  she’s aware that she might be fussing, but no matter how old scott gets, he’s always gonna be her baby. she never wanted to make a habit of missing his birthday. all she can do is make up for it now, and she’s punctuating each whirlwind sentence with another kiss somewhere on his face.  “ you get to pick dinner, okay? anything you want. ” / @hastodosomething
